You're right, there is no mention of boats at the Web site or in the
literature but all the people working for INS at the Detroit tunnel said
this was a new ruling??? So, as I suggested, when you go to get your I-68s,
ask.

Now in today's Detroit Free Press, they only mentioned I-68s - no mention of
the NEXUS card???

More info. Today I went to the Detroit tunnel INS to get our I-68s. After
we
had purchased them ($16 ea), the agent made us aware that there was now a
"new" option.

This is the NEXUS card. Basically it was originally used for quick bridge
and tunnel passage (casino users and commuters), but since a few months
ago,
boats and airplanes can use it instead of the I-68s. It's $50 for 5
years.
It looks like the Canadians got it going first for their people since the
web site is a .ca but INS has all the forms, etc.

So, if you're going to the INS get your I-68s, ask to see if I got the
right
poop and maybe things are turning around.

I found this, but no mention of boats.
